KINZERS
Kinzers, PA

, 1999
Kinzers is steam!
Everywhere you look something is running off
of steam. We got there
on Friday afternoon, the 20th , and stayed
until about 7. The
weather was unseasonably cool, and at times
damp. Saturday morning
was cool and grey and the picture above
gives a little taste of
the atmosphere. Despite the weather, the
show was a great
experience for us 'southerners'. I have heard
of this show for over 30
years, and we were finally able to see,
hear, and feel, the real
deal!

This is a great working display with a Maytag
washer and a couple of
pumpjacks, one operated by a 1/2 HP
New Holland. These were
all restored and were shown by
John Fleming of
Birdsboro, PA. Center - This is a 'Jumbo'
cement mixer with a 1 3/4
HP Nelson Bros. 'Little Jumbo'
engine, owned by Ken
Rapp of Birdsboro, PA. Right - This
display features an
early New Holland, a rare 'Oriole' burr
mill, an IHC 'Mogul Jr.',
and an upright IHC Famous. These
are owned by Harry
Mitchell of McAlisterville, PA. I got
so engrossed in
conversation with Harry, that I failed to get
all of the model and
horsepower information of his engines.

restored Mietz and Weiss engine that

the cloth is braided
on the old spark plug
wires, this is the machine that did the braiding.
Here, Shirley Hietala of
Enfield, CT is demonstrating this fascinating
machine. To the left of
that machine is a flat braiding machine.
